Beauty from within

LOOKS can deceive: scanning a wall of brochures, you could miss out on ‘Sierra’. What might appear as a rather bland-looking bungalow on the outside is actually alive with colour and good quality fittings on the inside.

Located in Upper Ardmore, Passage West, Co Cork, this detached house is 20 minutes from Cork city and a 10-minute drive to Carrigaline.

Rooms are a good size - the living room is 20’ by 14’, with stairs to attic storage, an antique fireplace and solid wood flooring.

In the kitchen, there’s a stunning floor of locally sourced beech, with units in wedgewood blue, a brick firebreast with Aga cooker and a large dining room linked by an arch. This combined space runs to 30’ by 11’ excluding the utility room.

All three bedrooms have wooden floors and heating is by oil. Stephen Clarke of McKenna O’Donoghue Clarke invites offers of €295,000.
